I have the exact opposite issue - I bought some heirloom seeds that were supposed to be "vigorous pole beans" and they are all of 12 inches high and show no inclination to climb. They are flowering and setting. Rather annoying since I set aside 2 bean towers for these midgets. They are *behind* a couple of tomato plants so are getting shaded. Drat! LOL

I bought a tomato variety at the nursery that was supposed to be a fairly solid roma shaped tomato - good for salsa, and now that it's fruiting it's giving me lopsided mutant tomatoes with deep pleats - they are too soft and juicy and definitely not good for salsa.
